Скачать или смотреть Did JWST Break Our Understanding of the Early Universe? - Zhuyun Zhuang - 07/22/2024

Has the James Webb Space Telescope broken our theories of the early universe? Are the apparent observations of massive "fully-formed" galaxies seen shortly after the Big Bang inconsistent with theory? Join us at our next Astronomy on Tap for insights from Zhuyun Zhuang, a PhD candidate from Caltech. Timestamps below:

00:00 Introduction
1:08 Early Universe Presentation
23:28 Q&A for Early Universe Presentation
23:54 "In what scenario does a black hole become active?"
25:09 "How does dust absorb light?"
26:09 "Is JWST sensitive to the cosmic microwave background?"
27:26 "Do owe understand how massive black holes form in the early universe?"

Astronomy on Tap is a global phenomenon where professional scientists give informal science talks in local bars with accompanying pub trivia and interactions with the public. The Los Angeles chapter of Astronomy on Tap is very active, with monthly events at the Dog Haus Biergarten in Pasadena. This recording is a bit noisy due to the logistics of operating a camera in a crowded bar, but it sufficiently captures the enthusiastic energy of the few hundred attendees each month. Join us for a future Astronomy on Tap night--free and open to all, no reservations necessary: https://www.astro.caltech.edu/outreac...
